He will be very greatly missed.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Bamonte worked with the band in various roles from 1984 to 1989, including as a roadie and guitar tech. He officially joined the band in 1990, when keyboardist Roger O&#8217;Donnell quit. It was then that he became a full-time member of the group, playing guitar, six-string bass and keyboard.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"embed embed--type-image is-image embed--float-none embed--size-medium\">\n<p>      <span class=\"img embed__content\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/12\/26\/1503fe12-687f-466f-b9dd-86c713379be6\/thumbnail\/620x414\/24d7d6693222d71ce8834a7017ed7d65\/gettyimages-1687781298.jpg#\" alt=\"2023 Riot Fest \" height=\"414\" width=\"620\" class=\" lazyload\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assets3.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/12\/26\/1503fe12-687f-466f-b9dd-86c713379be6\/thumbnail\/620x414\/24d7d6693222d71ce8834a7017ed7d65\/gettyimages-1687781298.jpg 1x, https:\/\/assets2.cbsnewsstatic.com\/hub\/i\/r\/2025\/12\/26\/1503fe12-687f-466f-b9dd-86c713379be6\/thumbnail\/1240x828\/d924a2fa2d886434d565e68dcaa1907f\/gettyimages-1687781298.jpg 2x\" loading=\"lazy\"\/><\/span><figcaption class=\"embed__caption-container\">\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__caption\">Perry Bamonte of The Cure performs at Riot Fest 2023 at Douglass Park on September 17, 2023 in Chicago, Illinois.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>                  <span class=\"embed__credit\"><\/p>\n<p>                Barry Brecheisen\/WireImage<\/p>\n<p>                          <\/span><br \/>\n              <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Having joined just after the band&#8217;s mainstream breakthrough, 1989&#8217;s &#8220;Disintegration,&#8221; Bamonte is featured on a number of The Cure&#8217;s albums, including 1992&#8217;s &#8220;Wish&#8221; &#8211; which features the career-defining hits \u2033Friday I&#8217;m in Love\u2033 and &#8220;High&#8221; &#8211; as well as the 1996&#8217;s &#8220;Wild Mood Swings,&#8221; 2000&#8217;s &#8220;Bloodflowers&#8221; and 2004&#8217;s self-titled release.<\/p>\n<p>Bamonte was fired from The Cure by its singer and leader, Robert Smith, in 2005.
